331: How to Thrive After a Narcissistic Relationship with Melanie Tonia Evans

Published: Sept. 8, 2022, 8 a.m.

If there\u2019s one thing that most cases of narcissistic abuse have in common, it\u2019s that the narcissist has an incredible ability to blindside their victims. Nearly every story starts out with someone meeting a wonderful, charming person until suddenly their dark side comes out.\xa0

Sometimes the abuse can be so subtle that the victim doesn\u2019t notice it\u2019s happening until it\u2019s broken them down. The gaslighting can be so intense that even the strongest person can wonder if they\u2019re the crazy one and if it\u2019s all their fault.

Today, she has developed her own energy healing method to heal trauma at the soul level \u2013 beyond the conscious mind \u2013 and help others recover from narcissistic abuse.
